Lisäravinnetuotteiksi

Lisäravinnetuotteiksi is a Finnish term that translates to "dietary supplements" or "food supplements" in English. These are products intended to supplement the normal diet and which are concentrated sources of nutrients or other substances with a nutritional or physiological effect. They are typically sold in measured doses such as capsules, tablets, powders, or liquids.

The purpose of dietary supplements is to provide individuals with a way to increase their intake of specific vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids, enzymes, or other substances. People may use them for various reasons, including to address perceived nutritional deficiencies, support general health and well-being, or to aid in specific physical or mental functions. The availability and use of dietary supplements are regulated in many countries, though the specific regulations can vary significantly.

In Finland, like in other parts of the European Union, the regulation of food supplements falls under specific EU directives and national legislation. These regulations aim to ensure the safety and accurate labeling of such products. Products marketed as dietary supplements are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. They are considered foodstuffs and are distinct from medicinal products. Consumers are often advised to consult with healthcare professionals before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if they have underlying health conditions or are taking medications.
